Our HOG group was given red ones with yellow ribbons printed on as a "support our troops" thing.. several of the members keep them on...other than that...means nothing

They're called Get Back Whips. Considered a weapon in lots of states. You can read a thread about them here:

That one made me laugh. I'd hate for someone
to wanna "fist" me too. That fisting stuff might hurt
real bad.

I hung a banana from my bars, but it got all black, rotten & shriveled up.

I have a red shop rag around my left fork lower on my rigid. The seal is leaking and barfing fork oil all over my pants and shirt. Too lazy to fix it in the heat; might do it this winter....maybe...

Does that count?
